The new line-up includes the entire range of entry-level 125 cc machines up to the new GL1800 Gold Wing, further expanding the diverse and rich model range.
New design
The CB1000R leads a trio of new naked bikes created under the slogan "Neo Sports Café". In addition to the aesthetic appearance, performance is also essential. A weight reduction of 12 kg and a power increase of 20 hp compared with the previous model bring a 20 percent improvement in power-to-weight ratio. This look also characterizes the new CB300R and CB125R for young motorcyclists and beginners.
Improved Africa Twin
The new Adventure Sports variant of the CRF1000L Africa Twin is released to celebrate the 30th European anniversary of the legendary Africa Twin XRV650. With the same tricolor color scheme as the original, it supports even more demands and adventures on the road as well as off-road. A 5.4 liter larger tank, longer suspension travel, a higher seating position, more ground clearance, heated grips, an extra-large engine guard and a modified fairing characterize the improved travel and adventure enduro.
New models
The new GL1800 Gold Wing makes its European debut at EICMA 2017. It has stood for comfort, luxury and quality for over 40 years and has become lighter and more compact. The six-cylinder boxer engine now has 4 valves per cylinder and is equipped with Throttle By Wire, four Riding Modes, HSTC Traction Control and Hill Start Assist. Honda's upgraded third-generation dual-clutch transmission with seven gears is optional here.
Concept bikes
Two concepts with Honda logo bring nostalgia also to the Honda stand at EICMA 2017 after the premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan a few days ago. The Monkey with horizontal 125 cm3 single-cylinder engine is equipped with modern LED lighting, SMART Key system, upside down fork and digital cockpit. The Super Cub 125C Concept is a new version of the highly successful light motorcycle that just celebrated the milestone of 100 million units sold in October.
